Sprinter Reliability
After, more or less, deciding on a class B sprinter as first rv purchase, I read some articles/threads today questioning their reliability. I'm sure there have been many comments over time regardin...

My 10 year old Sprinter has been fine. But with 28k miles it's not even broke in yet. I would not automatically jump on a new Sprinter, just because it's a Sprinter. I am as opinionated as anyone when it comes to vehicles, many miles of driving and racing. Before I bought my van, I researched the Sprinter T1N and found they had been in production for years all over the world. I wanted a turbo diesel, and 10 years ago the only one that was easy to get was a Sprinter.
Today, I would wait to see a Ford Transit, and look real hard at the Ecoboost gas engine. The emissions on new diesels is cost prohibitive, the turbo on a gas engine will do almost the same job and with a lot less emission junk. I have zero interest in the Dodge Promaster, FWD and Fiat, make that decision for me. Bad experiences with both.
